chiqqandagi

Chiqqandagi is a term found in Uzbek language usage, typically functioning as a participial adjective formed from the verb chiqmoq, meaning “to go out” or “to leave,” and the past participle element chiqqan, combined with the locative/relational suffix -dagi. In practice, chiqqandagi appears in noun phrases to convey a sense of “the one who has gone out” or “the place where something has gone out,” depending on the surrounding context.

Etymology and formation

The word is built from a verb-based participle root and a postpositional suffix. Chiqqan denotes completion of the action “to go out,” while -dagi attaches to the resulting phrase to indicate association with a noun. The combined form thus creates a relative descriptive function, linking the modified noun to the action of exiting or leaving.

Grammar and usage

Chiqqandagi is used as a relative phrase within a sentence, often to introduce or describe a specific entity linked to the act of leaving. It can modify animate and inanimate nouns, and it appears in both formal writing and narrative prose. The construction is part of Uzbek’s broader system of participial adjectives that enable precise, clause-like descriptions within noun phrases.

Examples (illustrative)

- Chiqqandagi odamlar kutmoqda. (The people who have gone out are waiting.)

- Qidirayotgan do'konchi chiqqandagi joyda mavjud. (The shopkeeper you are looking for is in the place where they have gone out.)
